Band Camp
Rebecca has spent the first 3 days of this week at 'band camp', where about 50 children from the first 3-4 years of her new school went away to a nearby conference centre for some intensive music rehearsals and 'bonding' at the start of the new school year. This culminated in a performance to parents last night, so the four of us went along to see them perform - and it was very impressive! They played a combination of classical and modern (80's) tunes, plus they had 'break-out' groups playing jazz, with all of them improvising as soloists. Rebecca enjoyed the camp as a social and a music event and she was 'buzzing' after the event!

Sue and I had booked tickets for an open air cinema on the same night, before we knew of the dates for the band camp, so we had to give these away - which was fortunate, as it was raining and stormy last night, although the lightning would have added an extra backdrop to the film!
